    Stick it to 'em

    Then file a CC dispute and stick 'em with the ship charges as well as the intercept charge.
    It's the least they deserve after the hosing pulled on U.
    Hate to say it, but it sounds as though this is part of their MO.
    Unfortunately, unless more trapped customers do this to hurt their bottom line, they'll never change.
    (U know too many Charge-backs...lose their CC processor for 1.)

    I'm not buyin' the comp glitch BS, with their Neg FB, could've been fixed by now.
    Seems like an excellent way to sucker...err...I mean drum up business, no?

Get this though I was charged full shipping charges for the entire order for the mount that weighs one pound alone.
      I called and the cs guy confirmed that is what happened but would not give me any sort of refund or put the ammo on backorder.
      Apparently they never had any of this ammo in stock, it was a computer error. He also said they do not put "out of stock" on anything except very recently on .22 ammo now they do. They basically just let people order away on items that may be out of stock and they might put it on backorder or they might cancel it. Either way he says they do email people this but I checked all my folders and no email. I will never use swfa again and I would advise not to order any .22 from them as he says they next to never get any but sometimes the computer will show it in stock. Booooo!
      Same thing happened to me...ordered some minimags along with 2 boxes of other ammo....they canceled the .22 and QUICKLY shipped out the other ammo so I couldn't cancel my order.

      Never ordering from them again.

        AIM has Wolf AK...

        BTW anyone in need of inexpensive:

        RUSSIAN 7.62X39 124grn FMJ 20rd/Bx = $4.19 or $209.50/Cs???

        Aim has it again.
        This is the WhiteBx stuff from '09/10' when the Uly plant was bought by Tula.

        Hope this helps.

          All good points, but as a practical matter, I've yet to see any ammo go bad in storage that didn't get submerged. About the only "stale" ammo I've even heard of was stuff that got carried daily for years in high precipitation/humidity areas, and even that I wonder if it would shoot fine if it got stored somewhere dry for a while.

          Basements are prime examples of where not to store ammo in either plastic or steel (although I agree the plastic will fail first). Between condensation cycles and flooding, it never seems to end well. I see a lot of food storage cans go bad for the exact same reasons.

            Thanks for the link! They're also cheaper than the Big C had them ($5.99 + tax or shipping) a couple months ago.

            I've shot quite a few of the Norma Tacs and they group nicely. IMO, worth the $.12/round if you are target shooting.

              Thank you for the advice. This is a first for me. I will look into doing this.

                LH thanks for the link. Just an FYI for anyone wanting this though: 7.62x39 prices have settled at 21-22 cents for at least couple of months now for TULA, Wolf and sometimes even Bear and Golden Tiger. Just look on Gunbot and you can buy them any day of the week. Just pick a brand you like and see who has the best shipping price and go for it. No shortage here unlike 22LR.

                          Lead free is STILL up, might as well toss it in if you're getting the 333's

                            Nice to see something up besides Blazers and unleaded win.
                            I'm passing on 333 alone.

                              Bah, I must not have the link with the 333's in it. Anyone have an active one of those?

                              Thanks.
